A few more from the same roll. Hope nobody minds the rather gruesome theme; this is nature after all, messy, brutal and beautiful.

 

I'm putting together an album of lion "portraits" taken in 2005 for my soon-to-be-relaunched site. More snaps than anything else but still fun to go through old photos.

Another from the Minolta TC-1 (for Mark P who needs one for his collection  :ph34r: )

NYC, Portra 400 (pushed one stop)

 

 

Yea yea!  I'll get there.

 

Are you happy with it's handling and focusing?

Obviously the lens is not a point of contention here.

Taking a short break from the flora with...some fauna to celebrate the rebirth of Ektachrome.

Can you provide some more details about this incredible photo? Camera, lens, location, circumstances.

 

It looks like blood smeared over his nose and jaw. An incredible capture depicting raw Mother Nature in a highly evocative and powerful creature. King of the jungle, indeed. Best damn photo I've seen for a long time. I had no idea I was a nature guy!

 

Cheers

Some rudimentary bone carving, me in this instance, and a piece I tried many years ago.

Thank you. I shot this in Masai Mara, Kenya, in 2005 using my EOS 1N and the 200/2.8L. I realise now that I forgot to mention earlier that I also used the Canon 2x extender which does degrade image quality a little bit but not by much. We were quite lucky during this trip because we saw a very large number of lions and often quite close.

Great stuff Eoin, nice to see you back posting. I particularly like the second one, with the shadows trailing the cyclists.

I've been away for a bit, and haven't had a chance to develop any of my exposed films until today (when I worked out that my remaining fixer appears foobarred). It's good to see that The Thread has been as busy as ever.

 

SWC w/ Tri-X at Aussie National Track Champ's in Brisbane...

The Doctor:  "I wear a fez now, fezzes are cool." So is the tie :)

 

 

skill of paparazzi photographers unleashed on NYC :)

 

Seriously, you need to change this thread title to "I love film"

 

Adam, here's another from one of our favorite films in Dubai ~

Thanks, Steve.  Yes, I could never mistake those red halos!  In case you are wondering, Cinestill is now selling the film in 120 format to the public on its site.

Amazing stuff, Philip.  Love them all but my favorite is the last one.  He seems to be cuddling perversely next to that bloody carcass and gazing at you in content.

I was also wondering about your focal length as 200mm seemed way too close!  400mm sounds more like it! :)

Yeah, who'd have thought to use an SWC for action cycling???

Gary

Exactly, Gary. One has to question the basic intelligence of someone who thinks the SWC has the makings of a sports camera. At 1fpp (Frame Per Push), and having to nearly get run down to get close enough, the Operator may not be the smartest tree in the forest... :rolleyes:
